In the drawings,

Figflfi I is a side elevational view 01 a e the motor e, device constructed in accordance With our bastion. will i ass throin invention heating the chamber shown in to proconduct the heat to the top of the housing in a well understood manner, it being apparent that the cooking utensils may be yieldingly held upon the plate 8 by the springs just described so that while the vehicle is traveling over the road bed, the utensils will not be lost or become detached from the plate 8, which is illustrated as being in the form of a hollow shelf.

While the major portion of the heat will be conducted to the top of the housing, it is also apparent that considerable heat will be radiated from the bottom plate of the housing and ifdesired, an oven 23 may be suspended from the housing by the links or slings 24 and 25 so that the heat generated in the stove may raise the temperature of the oven to a sufficient degree to'perrnit baking.

That we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A heater attachment for the exhaust of explosion engines consisting of a hollow casing having a tubular inlet to receive the products of combustion of the gas engine and an outlet, a central, longitudinal, heat conducting fin depending from the top of the hollow casing, and additional fins spaced from and on opposite sides of the central fin, the second mentioned fins being of less areathan tie central fin so that the major portion of the heat will be conducted to the central portion of the top of the casing.

2. A heater for attachment to the exhaust of explosion engines consisting of a hollow casing having a tubular inlet to receive the products of combustion of the gas engine, said casing having an outlet port, heat conducting fins carried by the top of the casing and within the same, the heat conducting fins having varying areas progressively decreasing frozn opposite sides of the longitudinal center, outstanding pins carried by the side walls of the casing, and yielding utensil-engaging members cooperating with the pins to hold the utensils onto the top of the casing.

In testimony whereof We affix our signatures.
